All these excuses about defense spending, illegals, and agricultural subsidies are just that, excuses. CA has a huge defense industry, more undocumented workers than any other state and is the agricultural giant of the United States (50% of our produce is grown in CA) yet still sends more tax dollars than it gets back.

You're basing all of your posts on a blog that shows zero facts to back up any claim they made, try again.

It's an ebb and flow each year. CA had their turn at being a net receiver.
Up until a year or two ago Texas was a net giver.
Geeze, it's not like Texas was a net receiver for decades upon decades like some other states.
As this article shows the Republican standard bearer state of Texas keeps sucking in more federal money while denying its citizens basic government services but continues to hand out big corporate tax breaks.
Its the tea party/republican principle in action: show the feds the finger with one hand, and take federal handouts with the other.
The best thing about Texas is Bill Moyers. They've also produced Ann Richards, Molly Ivins, Don Henley and Stevie Ray Vaughn. They just have to get rid of the Republican loons.

I wasn't talking about the number of illegals in the state.
